La Mesa to Fonsagrada 42 km

 The Albergue last night was good but the food selection was very limited. Easy for me as I like a hearty cabbage soup and stewed goat However, it was plentiful and good. It was quite busy last night and about 14 of the 16 beds in the room I was in were occupied. Unfortunately, it appeared to be by a national snoring orchestra and one woman played the bass trombone notes all night. Misty when I got up this morning and the Albergue was totally disorganised as far as breakfast was concerned so I just started walking at 0745 when there was just enough light. It’s a steady climb out from the Albergue and then a long descent down to the embalse. Then of course there was a long hike back up again. In fact it’s pretty much up hill all the way - even the last 1km is up a steep hill. The mist cleared by the afternoon and it stayed like that for the rest of the day. A pleasant day that in parts were like strolling through the English countryside, just with noisier cows. Staying in pension Manolo tonight to avoid the snoring. Plan to head for Vila de Cas tomorrow
